Better Off Dead

No, I am not referring to John Cusack's 1985 film of the same name... I speak of something far more trivial.

I had toyed with the idea of making Max Minghella this week's Break Out, but instead came up with a better plan after coming across some pictures of Minghella and girlfriend Leah Lezark. Maybe it's just America's current trendy sensation with them going to my head, but I'm seeing them everywhere... vampires.

I mean, seriously... Have you ever seen a more "living dead" couple?

I think Twilight missed a clear cut opportunity here. Ok, enough ridiculous fodder.

Brothers from another Mother?

I didn't really have to work at this one...

Max is really Penn mixed with a little of this guy.

Agora-tastic?

Check out the teaser trailer for what is likely the next big epic film. Agora, set to release in December 2009, takes place in Roman Egypt and follows a young slave, Davus (Max Minghella of Art School Confidential fame), who falls in love with his master, female professor and atheist Hypatia (Rachel Weisz). Swelling operatic themes in the background and larger than life shots signal that Agora could be the next big thing. 

What are your thoughts? Does this look promising or will it fall flat?
